Abstract

An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN) and pumped by 1064.2-nm laser is demonstrated, which can be conveniently tuned by the means of changing its operating temperature. The parameters of the set-up and experimental results are introduced in this paper. We adjusted the operating temperature from 80 to 250 ?, the output wavelength shifted from 1485.4 to 1540.7 nm. The average of the shifts is 0.33 nm/?.
